Hey it’s 2024 now!

Technology has improved. Overrated products are feeling the crunch more than ever..

Not Ohm. Not KEF. Not Fritz.

mbl:  unique and worth every penny if you got the right room.  Big if!!

Sonus Faber: can be a bit pricey but ahh you get lovely sound and fine Italian craftsmanship in many cases.

Q Acoustics and Goldenear: Nice! Watch out!

Not Hypex, Purifi, or Pascal. Not even Fosi.

Hifi Rose: Hot relative newcomer!

Not Audio Research or even Rogue still on the tube side.

Cambridge Audio and NAD - not overated. Outlaw makes the grade as well. Musical Fidelity makes a strong showing these days for many.

I like Michi very much!

Roon…..ah Roon…what would I do without you!

MiniDSP: a game changer for many!

Let’s check back in another 10 years and see what we got.

Bose and B&W are probably the two that own more market share than they probably should in an ideal world.
Manley jumped their prices a lot all at once a while back.

Are they worth the new prices? They seemed to be bargains for the old.
If I can't trust my wires to work miracles, who can I trust?

They are so simple compared to all the rest. Even a wire hanger might work in the clutch. Now that's a miracle!

No wonder people feel the need to spice them up a bit. Who cares about such simple devices.

Oh yeah, audiophiles. I guess that covers it.
